Question

what happens when an electron in a hydrogen atom goes beyond n=infinity?
it is ejected from the atom.
it becomes a proton.
it reaches the nucleus.
it forms a new energy level.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a hydrogen atom, the principal quantum number \(n\) represents the energy level of the electron. When \(n = \infty\), the electron has enough energy to overcome the attractive force of the nucleus. As a result, it is ejected from the atom, which is known as ionization.

Answer:

It is ejected from the atom.
